About this Item

Paperback. During pregnancy the focus of antenatal preparation is the birth itself, and the importance of the postnatal period is often overlooked. Yet postnatal recovery (or a lack of it) can have consequences for the long-term health and wellbeing of both mother and baby. In Why Postnatal Recovery Matters Sophie Messager draws on her experience as a scientist and doula to show that thinking ahead to after the birth can get new families off to the best possible start. Caring for and truly supporting a mother after the birth should be a societal norm. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About the Author

Sophie left her native France in 1997 to pursue postdoctoral studies as a biology research scientist, in Aberdeen.

Sophie is a birth geek and knowledge junkie but has a more spiritual side too, she is a trained Reiki healer & teacher and a Reiki drum practitioner. Her many skills include massage, rebozo, birth & postnatal healing rituals.
